I hate to think there are folks here that are THAT dumb. I hope she was just a actress hired to spice up the show.
And if not.....I am soooooo embarrassed to be a blonde!

I don't think she knows what "The Cure" is. Maybe she would say is a new medicine :)
This video makes me laugh and at the same time makes me worried about how many dumb people is in the world :?.

Oh and.. i like this new car because the colour matches my new ipod!! :-D :lol:
or... isn;t Africa the place where they adopt babies?? It Is SOO MUCH Cheaper than getting another pouch-pooch-puppy!! :roll:
Okay... me will leave the building.. ;) I am bad... :smth011
what is africa ?
a shop ?
but her red high heels doesn´t fit to this black and white dress i think.
but black is the only beautifull colour.
black high heels? yes.
but she is so dump....oh my god, and that on television, her life is over. her friends must be nice to her.
:shock: Is she real?!
She didn't know if France was a country...
I'm not sure what to say...*stunned into silence*...But i liked it when the kid was laughing at her!
Btw, looks like this girl is an American Idol invention

Hmmm...
I dunno ^^, maybe it wouldnt've worked in her case but, doesn't this bring people on ideas? Don't you think we all should just enter these things, act dumb, 'accidentally' get the money and run away with it?
We might look like we just want money for the hell of having it but we know we'd stick it into something bettre than a car that would match our i-pods, like giving it to schools that might just be able to prevent these kind of things XD.
Oh gosh, I'm not being too much of an ideoligst here or....

:lol: ;)
Well, I'm not that surprised... When I moved to the States in 1977 people would say "Oh what a cute accent, where are you from?" and when I said I was from Italy many would just get this blank look on their faces...so I'd say "It's a country. It's in Europe." And at that point sometimes I'd start getting questions like "Do you have cars over there? Do you have ice cream? Do you wear shoes?" :smth043
(I laugh about it now, but it really depressed me back then! Of course I'd say "Ever heard of Ferraris?" and act like in Italy we all owned them... Well, come on, I was 10.)

I saw this some time ago & have shown it to many of my Hungarian friends.
What a dopey cow! :smth043 :smth044
& worse still, she let that slimeball of a host make her look even more stupid.
"Don't they speak French there?" OMG :shock:
Made everyone I know laugh a lot.
@
CureCrusaderOn the subject of geography (not one of my strong points to be honest), do you really live in Antarctica? ;)

She is really dumb.
The girl had luck, because the boy knew that Budapest is the capital of Hungary.
I know this format, we have it on tv in Germany.
Honestly, before our glorious leader G. W. Bush :smth097 :smth096 required that US citizens would need a passport to travel to and from Mexico, Canada, Bahamas, etc, I would say that less than 50% of Americans had passports, nor did they have the desire to travel outside of the US.
A prime example...I am from Philly. The big vacation for alot of people from my area is a week at the Jersey (New Jersey) shore, or a week in the Poconos. Neither one is intriguing to me. I'd much rather go somewhere I have never been (outside of the US). That is part of the American arrogance...never experiencing other cultures and believing that we are the center of the universe.
Of course, depending on her age, this girl could very well be a product of Bush's wonderful educational initiative "No Child Left Behind". For those that are unaware of this fantastically intelligent plan, children are tested each year via a standardized test. based on the results of these tests, schools receive governmental funding in proportion to the test scores. the better the scores, the more funding a public school gets.
However, what is happening is that teachers are required to "teach to the test" and teach the kids only what is on the test. My oldest son has been taught to do multiple choice math. In other words, he is given a problem and 4 answers. His teachers have taught him to plug in the answers into the problem to determine what is the right answer, rather than teaching him how to actually solve the problem. Is that teaching kids anything? I can't tell you how many times I have gone to a store and paid for a purchase, and the person behind the counter cannot calculate what change I am due without looking at the cash register. Better yet...really confuse them and for an $11.49 purchase, give them a twenty, a dollar, and 2 quarters ($21.50) so that you get a ten dollar bill back. I love the dumbfounded look!
I saw somewhere on tv or something where someone didn't know that there are 52 weeks in a year. I was appalled that this person did not have this general knowledge. I asked both of my sons (aged 14 and 12)....and much to my dismay, neither one knew the answer. How can you not know that? I am just wondering if this is the same reason Ms. Ditz didn't know that Europe wasn't a country. The US is in serious trouble, all because of this. It is insane that one person can ruin a country.
Oh dear god....I find that so sad it's not funny :shock:

I never had a passport and I still don't. But I do have a desire to travel outside the country. I just can't afford to. :cry:
Going on about some US citizens that experience the US being the centre of the world, in some time they'll get by when we all (including in Europe) need to learn how to speak and write (traditional?) Chinese anyways. Everything comes in waves.
